Purveyor to the Royal Household
King Willem I introduced the designation Purveyor to the Royal Household in 1815.
This designation entitles businesses to display the royal coat of arms with the legend “By Royal Warrant Purveyor to the Royal Household”.
The Queen can grant the designation to small and medium-sized businesses that occupy an important position in their region and have existed for at least 100 years. Around 250 businesses are currently entitled to call themselves “Purveyors to the Royal Household”.
For more information on the designation “Purveyor to the Royal Household”, businesses should contact the mayor of the municipality where they are based.
